当前和未来的城市化，加上气候变化和其他不确定因素，使城市生活质量成为一个关键问题，需要不断关注和审议。在不同的城市和背景下，以绿色和蓝色基础设施为形式的城市生态系统有可能为人类福祉做出贡献，并支持生物多样性，并且在不同的条件下这样做。然而，这种潜力的实现不仅取决于绿色和蓝色基础设施本身，福祉效益也是整个城市系统结构和过程的结果。借鉴社会生态技术系统（SETS）研究和复原力评估的理论和见解，我们描述了如何系统地了解绿色和蓝色基础设施效益的产生和交付，可以为围绕人类福祉这一特定方面建立复原力的跨部门战略和干预提供信息。将SETS与非学术话语和实践联系起来，我们描述了三个系统控制变量的城市系统：基础设施，机构和个人受益者的看法，我们称之为过滤器，以及如何在不同的参与过程中使用这些来评估和建立围绕绿色和蓝色基础设施及其好处的弹性。为了使概念和理论框架在真实的世界复杂性中扎根，并使其在实践中可操作，我们讨论了巴塞罗那、哈雷和斯德哥尔摩的三个案例研究。所有的情况下，共享相同的一般三个步骤的过程，但他们的个人组合的方法和适应的过滤器框架的设计，以适应三个必要的独特的协作，跨学科的过程。这些案例从结果和产出、它们利用概念框架的方式以及它们面临的挑战等方面进行了讨论。这一探索性工作指出了一种参与城市顺应性的新方式，这种方式的优势在于，它不仅限于确定具体的干预措施或政策选择，也不试图阻止变化;相反，它侧重于如何通过不断平衡不同类型的SETS变化来适应变化并建立复原力。我们的研究加强了人们对幸福利益如何定位为内部SETS互动的紧急结果的理解，为在不同的治理过程和部门中将绿色和蓝色基础设施纳入主流提供了杠杆作用。
Present and future urbanization together with climate change and other uncertainties make urban quality of life a critical issue, and one that will need constant attention and deliberation. Across cities and contexts, urban ecosystems in the form of green and blue infrastructure, have the potential to contribute to human well-being as well as supporting biodiversity, and to do so under diverse conditions. However, the realization of this potential depends not only on the green and blue infrastructure itself, the well-being benefits are outcomes of the structures and processes of the entire urban system. Drawing on theory and insights from social-ecologicaltechnological systems (SETS) research and resilience assessments, we describe how a systemic understanding of the generation and delivery of green and blue infrastructure benefits may inform cross-sectoral strategies and interventions for building resilience around this particular aspect of human well-being. Connecting SETS to non-academic discourse and practice, we describe the urban system in terms of three systemic controlling variables: infrastructure, institutions, and the perceptions of individual beneficiaries, which we call filters, and how these can be used in different participatory processes to assess and build resilience around green and blue infrastructure and its benefits. To ground the conceptual and theoretical framework in real world complexity and make it operational in practice we discuss three case studies applying the framework in Barcelona, Halle, and Stockholm. All cases share the same general three-step process but their individual combinations of methods and adaptions of the filters framework are designed to fit with three necessarily unique collaborative, transdisciplinary processes. The cases are discussed in terms of outcomes and output, the ways they made use of the conceptual framework, and the challenges they faced. This exploratory work points to a new way of engaging with urban resilience—the strength of the approach is that it is not limited to the identification of specific interventions or policy options, nor trying to prevent change; rather it focuses on how to move with change and build resilience through constant balancing of different types of SETS change. Our study reinforces the growing understanding of how well-being benefits positioned as emergent outcomes of internal SETS interactions offers leverage for mainstreaming green and blue infrastructure throughout diverse governance processes and sectors.
